Ukrainians receive nine times more money – largely wage remittances – than they send out of the country, Olena Mahaeva, director of the central bank’s Payment Infrastructure Division, told reporters Tuesday. The main currencies for money transfers are the US dollar, the euro, the Russian ruble, and the Canadian dollar. She said 35 remittance systems operate in the Ukrainian market. Of these, 29 carry out transfers within Ukraine, and 13 make international transfers.
